Looks cool, I could see using this for a wedding video compilation.
Some feedback - it's a little hard to decipher what the service is all about upon landing upon the homepage. I would suggest making the page longer to explain how it works. groupme.com is a good example to look at.

Thanks! What sort of wording do you think is better than "creating group videos?"
Perhaps "Creating videos as a group."
I agree there is a tradeoff between too many words and too few. I'd suggest that you can improve it by just making the landing page longer, ie - put more information in the scrollable area.

Looks great!
A nitpick - when I log in via Facebook, my photo gets resized to a square, which looks weird (proportions get distorted). I'm pretty sure other websites tended to maintain proper aspect ratio and just crop a scaled down image to fit into a square.

FYI - if you can make do with smaller images (50x50 or lower), you can use the param 'type=square' to pull Facebook's standard square photos. For example, graph.facebook.com/ID/picture?type=square
I would suggest having an example group video on the homepage, maybe to start the screencast you already have?
